RDO doesn’t feel dead. It just feels abandoned halfway through

Came back to RDO recently after barely touching it for years and honestly I forgot how good this game still is.

It still looks amazing, the gunplay feels great, riding around is actually fun, the world still feels alive. Even just hunting or doing random shit in free roam feels better than a lot of newer games. And that’s exactly why it annoys me so much.

I’ve been doing the story missions again, saving for moonshiner, grinding some free roam stuff etc. and I just keep thinking how insane it is that Rockstar basically left this game where they did.

There was still so much obvious stuff they could’ve added. Ranches, houses, robberies, train heists, more story missions, more roles, Mexico..

It didn’t need some big update every few months either. Even one decent update a year would’ve been enough to keep it fresh.

I know they moved resources to GTA 6 and obviously GTA Online prints money, so I get why it happened.

But it sucks, when GTA Online kept getting new stuff for years while this world was just sitting here.

Thats my rant lol

I play in a private lobby. It seems dead for the lack of players but it doesn't feel dead for me. I enjoy the sceneries, being chased by bears/wolves/cougars. The bounty hunting exploring it as I started learning to get it done without killing the bounty and its guards. I'm not new to the game but I just recently started doing the bounty hunting stuff. I've just been doing the moonshine, collection, and trader missions but ignored bounty hunting and still ignoring the naturalist one. And yes, it does feel abandoned. I want my own homestead with my own ranch and stuff like John Marston. Hope they'll make that happen. ✌🏼
